A shop counter
You ask the person at the counter whether a game is in stock. They say, "Not now, give me a second."
What could you do?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
Okay, no rush.
A strong fit
It accepts the wait and holds your place. Standing where they can see you is enough.
Okay. I will look around and come back.
Also works here
This gives them space. You may need to catch their eye again when you return.
Repeat the question louder.
Worth a second look
You can. They heard the first time, and louder does not make them faster.
What people here usually expect
- Counter staff often finish one thing before the next. A second usually means a minute.
- Waiting where they can see you is a normal way to hold your place.
- Coming back later is fine too.
Your words
Write one line you could say when a shop worker asks for a second.
In the app you write one line here and it lands in your lines. Nothing is graded.
The move this moment practises: After a “not now”.
